"What do I do next?" said the bishop to the priest,
E G A
"I have spent my whole life waiting, preparing for the feast,
Bm D
and now you say Jerusalem has fallen and is lost,
E G A Bm
the king of heathen Saracen has seized the holy cross."
Bm D
Then the priest said "Oh my bishop, we must put them to the sword,
E G A
for God in all His mercy will find a just reward,
Bm D
for the noblemen and sinners, and knights of ready hand,
E G A Bm A G
Who will be the Lord's Crusader, send word through all the land.
A Bm A G A Bm A G A Bm
Jerusalem is lost, Jerusalem is lost, Jerusalem is lost."
Bm D
"Tell me what to do", said the king upon his throne,
E G A
"but speak to me in whispers for we are not alone,
Bm D
They tell me that Jerusalem has fallen to the hand,
E G A Bm
Of some bedevilled Heathen who has seized the Holy Land."
Bm D
Then the chamberlain said "Lord, we must call upon our foes
E G A
In Spain and France and Germany to end our bitter wars,
Bm D
All Christian men must be as one and gather for the fight,
E G A D
You will be their leader, begin the battle cry:
A Bm A G A Bm A G A Bm C
Jerusalem is lost, Jerusalem is lost, Jerusalem is lost."
Em D C
Ooh, high on a hill, in the town of Jerusalem,
D Em D C
there stood Saladin, the king of the Saracens.
D B7 Em D C
Whoring and drinking and snoring and sinking, around him his army lay,
G B7 Em
secure in the knowledge that he had won the day.
Em D C D
A messenger came, blood on his feet and a wound in his chest.
Em D C
"The Christians are coming!" he said, "I have seen their cross in the west!"
D B7 Em D C
In a rage Saladin struck him down with his knife, and he said "I know that this man lies,
G B7 Em
they quarrel too much, the Christians could never unite!
C D A C B7 C D A C D Em D C D
I am invincible, I am the king, I am invincible, and I will win..."
Em D C D
Closer they came, the army of Richard the Lionheart,
Em D C
marching by day and night, with soldiers from every part.
D B7 Em D C
And when the Crusaders came over the mountain and they saw Jerusalem,
G B7 Em
They fell to their knees and prayed for her release.
Em D C
They started the battle at dawn, taking the city by storm,
Em D C
with horsemen and bowmen and engines of war, they broke through the city walls,
D B7 Em D C
The Heathens were flying and screaming and dying, and the Christian swords were strong,
G B7 Em
and Saladin ran when he heard their victory song;
C D A C B7 C D A C D Em D C D
We are invincible, God is the king, we are invincible, and we will win..."

"What do I do now?" said the wise man to the fool,
E G A
"I have spent my whole life searching, to find the Golden Rule.
Bm D
Though centuries have disappeared, the memory still remains,
E G A Bm
of those enemies together, could it be that way again?"
Bm D
Then the fool said "Oh you wise men, you really make me laugh,
E G A
with your talk of vast persuasion and searching through the past.
Bm D
There's only greed and evil in the men who fight today.
E G A Bm A G
The song of the Crusader has long since gone away.
A Bm A G A Bm A G
Jerusalem is lost, Jerusalem is lost, (7x)
G A B
Jeru - sa - lem"
